Crowd management is an important task for civilian, police, and military groups that can be very difficult on its own, and becomes even more difficult in hostile environments. The difficulty comes from the many levels of granularity that events can happen at. Making such a system automated adds further challenges, due to difficulties with modeling and sensors. Accurate large-scale crowd models are ...

This proposal responds to the need for a more capable velocity sensor for Naval Special Warfare undersea vehicles that will enable 3D bottom and water column tracking. Currently, the Advanced Seal Deployment System utilizes a Doppler Sonar capable of operations at altitudes of up to approximately 300 meters over the sea bed for bottom track mode. There is also a stated need to decrease weight, v ...

Historically, biometric collection systems have been designed for fixed Law Enforcement office applications. Their limitations stem from the fact that they were designed for specific hardware collection sensors optimized for a specific application. To a large extent the software is proprietary to a single vendor’s sensor suite and not designed to accept international character sets. Current p ...

Many SOCOM-specific, passive, maritime, acoustic-surveillance operations cannot be accomplished using conventional sonar-system technologies. Maritime, passive-acoustic surveillance using some combination of submarines and the Advanced Deployable System is a traditional surveillance mission. But, the deployment and use of these capital-intensive assets for surveillance of many shallow-water passag ...

Continuity Solutions (CS), LLC. proposes to apply our experience and capability in developing scenario scripting tools for training to ensure the Department of Homeland Security is prepared to decisively perform in demanding situations. CS proposes a holistic, easy-to-use approach to comprehend and evaluate emergency preparedness requirements and associated responses. Our approach extends the trad ...

dFuzion engineers have worked with soldiers in several military exercises, including Naval Warfare Development Command¿s (NWDC) Fleet Battle Experiments and the Joint Forces Command¿s (JFCOM) Forward Look Experiments. In these experiment sets, we designed and developed a lightweight intelligent bandwidth video dissemination architecture that allowed soldiers with limited bandwidth capabilities t ...

Phase I of this project researches a new approach for collecting a higher degree of relevant bot executables by exploiting the infect vector weakness and by utilizing an inline device that both protects systems and captures the bot as it attempts to infect. Most recent botnet research relies on honeynets to collect bots. Reliance on a single collection mechanism, such as honeypots, creates a weakn ...

This program addresses the Special Operations need for a cost effective wind Lidar system enabling efficient delivery of psychological warfare material. Our approach involves the design, development and field demonstration of an all fiber transceiver allowing for the mapping of wind fields. The advantages of our approach include: • All Fiber based design resulting in a power efficient system, ...

The proposed SBIR will develop a network of imaging sensors that are extremely small (50 mi) communications node that will relay data into a TCP/IP network to a serve based graphical user interface. The imaging sensor nodes will perform internal image processing to extract target features. A schema of target features will be developed that is compatible with MANET operation. The sensor nodes will ...

The current project will develop and demonstrate a prototype compact, power-efficient all-fiber lidar unit for wind profiling on board UAV's and other aircraft. The system leverages Oceanit's current fiber-laser based lidar development efforts. A unique design provides a rugged system with no moving parts and little maintenance requirements. Efforts in the current project will include prototype s ...
